I cannot say enough amazing things about Xuan. I brought in my wedding dress, needing major alterations. It was too big, I wanted sleeves that didn't originally exist, and I hoped to add lace detailing to the front. I went to SOOO many other places that were telling me a ridiculous cost and how they couldn't do one thing or another. Xuan not only said she could do it, but she absolutely exceeded every expectation. She transformed my dress into exactly what I had envisioned. The sleeves she created looked like they were part of the original design, the fit was perfect after they took it in significantly, and the lace they added in the front made the whole gown feel even more elegant and personal. Her attention to detail was truly impressive. Xuan was really kind, patient, and incredibly accommodating throughout the process. She went above and beyond to make sure my dress was perfect for my big day, and even dry and spot cleaned it. I'm so grateful for her! I would highly recommend them to any bride looking for flawless, trustworthy, and skilled alterations. My dress turned out better than I ever dreamed! read more

Beware of their services! We had a pair of men's linen pants dry cleaned here. There was a stain on it. When I picked up the pants, the stain was gone but now there was a faded big spot in it and it looked like the area was thinner due to the chemicals used. When I spoke with the husband to try to explain our concern, he said it was worn out from sitting. The pants are not that old and the spot is NOT where the buttox hits to sit down. He started LAUGHING and said it was funny. I told him this is not a laughing matter. These are expensive men's linen pants. He said he was done talking about and walked away. This was very disrespectful and no way to deal with customers. Spring the wife was no help shaking her head and her voice was raised. I told her I was just the messenger and to not raise voices. The men's pants are ruined and they deny any responsibility. Beware of this place. I've referred friends to them and they have not been happy with the alterations either and will not come back. I should have listened to them. read more

Xuan has helped me with bridesmaids dresses before and I knew I could trust her completely to make my vision come to life when it came to my wedding dress! I envisioned a slit for my wedding dress and that was the only thing missing from my dream wedding dress. When I asked her if she could add one: NO PROBLEM. We tried different methods of how to have the most seamless and elegant way to have the dress slit closed for our ceremony and open for the reception AKA party and Xuan worked endless hours and multiple fittings until we got the perfect final dress. We ended up going with a zipper and it was AMAZING. I couldn't have been happier with how it turned out and am so grateful for all the time and effort Xuan dedicated to making my dress perfect for my special day. read more

I went here off and on for years. Looking back, I don't know why other than a Vietnamese connection. She over charges, especially if she thinks you have money. The alterations are substandard and when you point out flaws, they explain them away. I'm kicking myself for going to her for years. Prices are not well defined. You'll know you're being ripped off when she says something like, "Special price for you. You're my friend". Those who don't know better think this is sweet, as they are being swindled. Take it from someone who knows. This is just another version of a nail salon. Compare prices. Double check their work. Beware. read more

I needed a speedy alteration on a pair of pants and they did a great job! I will definitely go back for alterations!

Waited last minute for a HOCO dress alteration and she was kind enough to fit me in and the dress fit perfectly! Great, friendly service!

I ordered a dress and ran into Xuan for a zipper replacement, when she asked when do I need it by, I nervously said tomorrow. She then walked around the counter and said no problem tomorrow after 3pm. This is not my first time coming in but she has also alternated my flight attendant uniforms to a T. She is amazing part 2 coming... after the pick up on Friday after 3pm! read more

After moving a few minutes/miles north we needed to find someone else for alterations because our previous seamstress raised their prices even after we've been customers for over 20 plus years. Xuan does Quality work for about the same price as previous but we don't have to drive as far now, even got my wifey and daughter to have a bunch of alterations done. read more

Terrible customer service. I brought my son in for alterations and Xuan said, "He too short" while pinning the hem, which really upset my son who has a growth hormone disorder and gets bullied often for his shorter stature. It was an unnecessary rude comment. Hem was replaced with a very basic stitch, not replicating the same type of more durable stitch originally there. read more

Love bringing my clothes here for tailoring! Prices are great and when you have a deadline, she meets it graciously. I've never not liked my services that have been done here and would trust her for all my altering needs in the future! read more

Long and overdue reviews is a constant thing but not having reviewed Xuan's this entire time was a shocking revelation that I recently realized. I have been going to Xuan's for about 8 years now and I have always been satisfied by her work. From the standard tailoring of dress shirts and pants to the more difficult tailoring of suit jackets and peacoats/overcoats. Xuan can do it all! She will tailor your clothes to anyway to your liking and also does repairs of broken zippers, patches, buttons and ripped seams. I've saved quite a bit of money just repairing clothes! Xuan is clearly passionate in what she does and ensures you are entirely satisfied with your tailored apparel. Pricing is affordable and this place is in a plaza with quite a few dining options. Makes it very convenient to drop by during my lunch period :) read more

Found Xuan on Yelp after another alteration service flaked out on me. I had a suit and a new pair of jeans that needed some work. She got me in and out super quickly, the work was done when she promised, and her prices are really great especially considering the quality of the work. I was super happy with the result and now my clothes fit and look great! Highly recommended! read more

I've trusted only Xuan for the past 20 years when it comes to anything being tailored.

Came to get my bridesmaid dress hemmed. Service was really fast and friendly. Price was fair and the turn around was 1 week. When I came in for the alteration, she had me try my dress on and made the markers of where I wanted the length to be. When I came back to pick it up, I tried it on and it was perfect, exactly the length that I wanted. I would have given five stars but my dress has three layers, the chiffon outside and then two linings on the inside. After the alterations, they only sewed the two outer layers and left the inside fabric not sewn. I didn't realize this until I was walking outdoors at the wedding venue in the bark areas that I realized everything was getting caught on the unsewn layer of the dress. I had to constantly take things out of my dress and it wasn't easy or nice because they were tough to get out. read more

I cannot say enough great things about Spring, my suit maker. I came with a very specific custom tuxedo idea with a long train. Spring looked at it and said "no problem" and exceeded all my expectations. Her craftsmanship and attention to detail is unlike any other. I felt like a king and lost count of how many compliments I got during my wedding. She not only did it for half the price I was getting quoted from other stores, but she completed it in less than 2 weeks! Her communication was always prompt and she is accommodating. If you are reading this and need a custom suit, please look no further! You are in great hands with Spring! read more

I took my wedding dress and my step daughters dress to Xuan for alterations. She was able to add cups to the breast area of the bridesmaids dress and shorten the straps so easily that it looked like the dress came that way! My wedding dress was a bit snug after the holidays so it took us a few appointments to get it perfect and it looked Amazing on me on our wedding day. Xuan added a zipper so my back buttons wouldn't gap and repositioned some appliqués so we could shorten the straps and and she did an amazing job creating a bustle. She also steamed my veil a few days before my wedding as a wedding gift. She is personable and funny and very good at what she does. I will take all my alterations to her! I highly recommend read more

Attention all you suit aficionados!! If you need your suit tailored without cutting corners, you've found your tailor. Xuan is a magician when it comes to the most difficult alterations. Xuan transformed my ill fitting baggy suits in to form fitting masterpieces. They weren't easy jobs either, each piece was bespoke and required full deconstruction of the linings to include hem cutting. 2 full suits and 2 blazers were customized to absolute perfection. Skip Men's Warehouse, skip the fancy suit shop around the corner, Xuan does it right, and she will give you the honest advice of a veteran tailor who's been a local treasure for years. My family has gone to Xuan for years - she's fitted formal dresses for my daughters, and she's even made repairs to our down comforter...she can do it all. Superb 5 Stars without a doubt and the highest recommendation possible. She makes it in the San Diego Fashionista Hall of Fame for professionalism and customer service. Top tip - be patient. Xuan is booked; if she says a week, give her the week and don't rush! She'll get it done, and done well. read more

I'm new to residing on this side of San Diego. The NEXTDOOR app informed me of this business for alterations, many of whom have been going here for 15+ years. It sounded reputable. So I got the gown for my court wedding altered here. Thank you for helping me. To this day, when I look back at my wedding photos and admire my dress, I remember the seamstress (my fairy godmother) who helped me when I was frantic and frazzled. They even finished my dress within a week!!! read more

I've been coming here for years, since 2015, and I'm never let down. Xuan's is super fast, affordable, and great quality. Prices are more than fair and she always does an amazing job. I don't trust anyone else with my clothes. Highly highly recommend to anyone in need of alterations read more

This was the 2nd & last time that my alterations were promised to be ready by a set time and when I arrived not only did it take a full week but they were NOT even started yet. The 1st time my daughter's dress was promised to be ready by 2:00 for the school dance that night & she hadn't even started it yet so we had to go buy another dress all together. The owner apologized but no refund or discount was given. I thought that she was sweet & the location was convenient so I decided against my better judgement to give them another try. This time I made it clear that I needed my alteration to be done by 12. I was told that would not be a problem. Apparently it was. I arrived a 12:30 & I was told that she yet AGAIN had not even started it yet and to come back! So once again I was screwed. No apologies or discount was given. Seriously go anywhere besides here you will tank me read more

I've been going to Xuan for my alterations for years, but then I moved to Poway and tried the Poway Alterations place. They were more expensive and didn't do as good of a job, plus made me feel unreasonable for work Xuan would always do no problem, so I returned to Xuan to fix their work. I am extremely happy with the results, and I'll keep coming back even if it's a little further of a drive for me now. She does it right the first time and takes great pride in making it not only fit right, but look amazing and flattering to your body too. When you have a good tailor, you stick with them! read more

If I could give Spring 10 stars I would! My daughter-in-law had taken her wedding dress to another tailor who had no business touching her dress. She asked him to shorten her train and tailor the bodice. He cut off the train entirely and then cut uneven pieces and sewed them on badly to try to reconstruct the train. He left her with a bodice that fell off her shoulders and had armholes that were too small and restricted her movement. With one week before the wedding, we needed a miracle. Enter Spring. Spring saw exactly what was needed to fix the prior tailor's shoddy workmanship. She evened out the skirt (5 layers of tulle!), came up with a creative solution to hide the unwanted seams, took apart and resewed all five layers, added rolled hems so the skirt looked finished and the train laid properly, and also completely redid the bodice so it fit perfectly and no longer restricted my daughter-in-law's movement. Not only was the dress now fitting perfectly and looking like a properly designed gown, but Spring worked incredibly hard to prepare the dress for interim fittings and to ensure that the finished work would be what we wanted. And she got it finished and steamed on a very quick timeline for a very reasonable price. After Spring was done, the dress was beautiful and the wedding was all we'd hoped for. We're so grateful we found Xuan Sewing and Alterations!! We're never going anywhere else for alterations. read more

I bought my son a suit online for a homecoming dance. The suit arrived later then expected on Tuesday late afternoon. It needed to be tailored so I called around for a tailor service that could have it ready by Thursday night. The only one I found is Xuan! Spring said she could get it done, but I have to bring it in first thing Wednesday morning, which we did. I took my son in Wednesday morning, got the suit tailored to the proper size. I asked if they could dry clean it as well. Thursday night before they closed. We went in to pick up the suit, my son tried it on and wow! It was a great job done!! Spring put a lot of hard work in getting the job done on time! This will definitely be the place for my tailoring needs! read more

I'm so disappointed. This is my second time going to Xuan. Needed my engagement party dress hemmed as it was too long. I'm so upset at the outcome. I spent a good amount of money on my dress and the hem looks so tacky. There are holes in some areas and none in others. The color doesn't match and it's just so noticeable.
